Lot 334
1798 S-180 R5+ Style II Hair with Small 8. Good-4 Plus. A few points sharper but covered with uniform microscopic porosity. No marks or verdigris. Dark olive and chocolate brown with some gloss showing on the obverse highpoints. The date is easily readable but the lower part is weak, as usual due to the opposing cud break at TATE, which is strong on this example. The legends are complete except for weakness on the fraction. M-LDS, Breen state IV late, with a sunken retained cud break at UN where the terminal cud break is about to occur. Only 2 known in this die state, and the second is unconfirmed. DWH #3201.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
